Can peptic ulcers be cured -i.e. eliminated?

Answer 1

Actually, you're wrong my friend. Both my mother and brother have them, and they are not cureable. Basically an ulcer is a hole and in your situation, within your stomach which is common. They can not simply patch up the hole and your cured, although, with medication it may be treatable. Both my brother and mother have to watch certain foods they eat such as spicy cajun. The spice of the foods only adds to the burning hole within you. If you havent yet, see a doctor and see if they can perscribe you medicine to help ease any discomfort you may have.
Good luck and God bless.

Answer 2

Peptic ulcers can be cured fully, but it is very very difficult to do so. This is mainly because, it calls for enormous control and self restraint in the patient with respect to the food habits and also strict adherance to the prescription of the doctor.
Peptic ulcer, to put it in simple terms is the damage done to the walls of the stomach by the gastric acid (Hydrochloric acid of pH 0.9, which is strong enough to burn ur finger).. It is nothing more than a wound, which can be cured as the gastric walls are capable of regeneration.. But this process will be quite slow and thus calls for enormous patience and strict adherance to the prescription of the doctor by the patient.

Answer 3

In most cases these are caused by an infection and can be cured by antibiotics. This was first noted by a country doctor in Greece in the1950s but he did not have the facilities to isolate the organism. In fact he was persecuted.

In the late 1980s though Dr. Barry Marshall, a physician and academic in Perth, Western Australia was able to show that the organism helicobacter pylori was usually responsible. For this he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005 with Dr. Warren, his partner in research.

Modern treatments for ulcers now often combine proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole with antibiotics. The old bismuth treatment was partially effective, though no-one knew why. It appears that h.pylori is particularly susceptible to bismuth.
